Inequality symbols are a shorthand notation used to compare different quantities. There are four inequality symbols “greater than”, “less than”, “greater than or equal to”, and “less than or equal to”. So, for instance, the sentence “5 is greater than 2” can be written as 5>2. A good way to remember which number is greater is to think of each symbol like a mouth; the mouth will always eat the larger of the two numbers being compared.
